Dennis Hope - the main dealer territories of the Moon on the Earth
Dennis Hope, head of the corporation "Lunar Embassy", based in Nevada, suggested that the governments of several countries, a source of money to solve all financial problems. However, no country has so far not benefited from the Hope credit, the so-called "Delta" - a currency system created specifically for those who own property on the moon. In 2001, the Hope has also created its own galactic government to protect the interests of almost six million owners of the territories.
For three decades, "Lunar Embassy" raised $ 11 million from the sale of extraterrestrial real estate. Four lunar m2 of land can be purchased for $ 19, 99, plus another $ 10 for shipping and handling, $ 1, 51 for the payment of planetary and lunar taxes and $ 2, 50 for a copy of the official certificate of ownership.
In order to choose which piece of the Moon Hope wants to sell, he just closes his eyes and pokes a finger at a map of the moon. This area on the map is painted in red, to show that longer available, and the newly-owner after the payment receives the image of your site. Hope also talked about the possibility of selling plots on Mars, Venus, Mercury, and one of the moons of Jupiter, but has not yet implemented the idea in the absence of detailed maps of alien territories.
According to Hope, more than 2430 m² belong to millions of people around the world, including celebrities such as Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Nicole Kidman and former presidents - Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter and George Bush. "Lunar Embassy" does not sell only the land around historic monuments, and, according to Hope, he declined from $ 50 million last year, when someone wanted to buy all the northern hemisphere of the moon.
It all started with the fact that in 1970, Hope divorced and found himself in debt. He knew he could make money on real estate, and turned his attention to space. After exploring the Hope found a loophole in the "Space Treaty" of 1967 year, which says that "no country by assigning modet not get sovereignty or control over any of the satellites." But the physical and legal entities in the agreement did not, so that in 1980 the businessman filed for ownership of the moon at the United Nations, but have not received any response, which, in his view, meant consent. However, experts do not agree. They believe that the moon is the common property of the international community, and neither the state nor individuals can not own it.
In general, up to the end it is not clear whether the legal possession of a celestial body or not, but Hope no one has stopped and his business is booming. He calls the other vendors of lunar territory by criminals for trying to assign something that is not theirs, but his right compares with a right of kings in the 1500s, who claimed their rights to the territory, although never seen them.
